Garden Fresh Mint Pesto

Servings 1 Cup

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Measuring cups & Spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 3 OZ Fresh Mint leaves
  • 1/2 OZ Fresh Parsley
  • 4 Garlic cloves Minced
  • 1/2 tsp Salt & Black Pepper
  • 2/3 Cup Walnuts
  • 3/4 Cup olive oil
  • 1 TBSP freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Only a couple steps needed to make this pesto. Place all ingredients acceptable olive oil and lemon juice in a food processor.
  • While blending drizzle in the olive oil and than the lemon juice. Place in a sealed container & store in the refrigerator. All pestos freeze really well, if you double or triple the recipe like I usually do with most pestos place in 1/4 cup in small glass jars and freeze.
  • I used this pesto with my recipe for leg of lamb roast, see separate post for this recipe instructions and ingredients.
  • I also like this mint pesto or any pesto that you have in the fridge for lunch wraps filled with meat and leafy greens. I would also serve a small amount of fresh pesto with grilled white fish.
